That's what I've always wondered myself.

Good question, and it doesn't. It just means its not a fashion capitol. Most World Cities aren't so that argument is neither here nor there.

LOL I remember that one!

They'd be very rich, and without the the two states in this country, the country would be in extreme debt.
With them we are in EXTREME debt already. The rest of your post I could get with, but Wall Street buried us so this part isn't really a good argument.

Funny thread. Rachael84 should run for president, or at least write a book. I'd gladly buy it!

What polls. Polls proving Houston isn't a world city? Because that was the discussion we were having. Why is it every time we try to defend Houston some random person comes in late and tries to say something irrelevant?

I say kick out New York and Connecticut ...... NY for being such a mega state with no college football to speak of and CT for focusing too much on basketball and ignoring college football.....

The US has at most, three world class cities:New York, San Francisco and probably Washington. Boston and Chicago-close but no cigar. Houston? Are you friggin' kidding me?
